Shoutout to the print statement, my first bug fix was just moving it
Back in 2019 I spent two days stuck on a Python homework in my dorm at Kent State, then added one print line and saw my loop was skipping names the whole time. What tiny thing taught you more than any tutorial did?

Did you ever think a single print line would teach you more than a whole semester of lectures? Honestly I used to roll my eyes at people who said that, figured they were just bad at reading code. Then I spent a whole night on a Java assignment where my array kept printing garbage, and one System.out.println inside the loop showed me I was resetting my counter every time. Two seconds of printing beat three hours of staring and guessing. That tiny habit changed how I debug everything now, I just ask the code what it's doing instead of assuming.
